Featuring Carla Kihlstedt The Avant Rock band performed live at the BIMHUIS in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. They are from Oakland, California, United States.
Does anyone know what tunings Nils uses? I imagine he comes from the school of Fred Frith where standard just isn't good enough. When I saw them live, he was playing some fucked up sounding chords.
In Glorious Times may be considered the worst in comparison to the Moe! days... but it has the most chilling lyrics. So very gloomy, and this one takes the cake as being lugubrious (I hate this word btw).
My head vanishes when this tune is played in my vicinity.

@nafzger Nils uses standard tuning, from what I've heard and seen.
Carla sometimes plays a violin with all the strings tuned to one pitch.

@nafzger I'm almost completely sure it is a Dropped D tuning. Or atleast some/most of the time

He also plays a twelve string sometimes which gives it a slightly eastern micro-tone type quality. I love his guitar compositions!

he just slaps the strings with his dick until they are detuned how he likes them.

"Though inevitably seen as a death song, this begun as a love song" love the linear notes for it.
